The Copper Canyon Crossing is just what it's name depicts. This hike takes 5
nights of camping and gives you 2 nights hotel. You'll start out with 1 night at the
cozy Sierra Lodge Hotel, nestled in the woods of the Cusarare area, then you'll
camp out for 5 nights as you cross through the Copper Canyon and finally end up
in Divisadero for a night at the famous Mirador Hotel that hangs off the cliff's edge.
Your food, cooking equipment, backpacks etc...are all carried by burros or
Raramuri runners (when the trails get to steep for the burros). You'll have a
Raramuri guide, cook, several arrieros and an English speaking guide to give you
in depth information on your hike.
This hike is rated as strenuous and one must be in excellent physical condition to
attempt it.
